Concept & logo
The logo consists of 2 parts, the element of the jumping bar and the typographical element of the name. In the jumping bar a stage is incorporated as a sign of victory and prestige.
This reflects the values of the company. The name Cloots has also been added to the logo to strengthen the image and recognizability.
Colours
The main colour of the logo is red. This stands for the energy and passion that Cloots wants to share with its customers. The red is complemented by grey, which emphasizes the professionalism shown by Cloots in helping its customers to achieve their goals.
